You and me we keep walkin' around and we see

All the bullshit around us

You try and keep your mind on what's going down

Can't help but see the rhinoceros around us


D                                    C                      

and you wonder what you can be & you do what you can to get 

D

bald & high


Bb5                                         Ab5

And you know that I'm still gonna need you around, yeah


Bb5                                         Ab5    D

And you know that I'm still gonna need you around

You say it's healing but nobody's feeling it

Somebody's dealing - somebody's stealing it

You say you don't see & you don't

You say you won't know & you won't

Let it come

Everything someday will be gone except silence

Earth will be quiet again

Seas from clouds will wash off the ashes of violence

Left as the memory of men

There will be no survivor my friend

Suddenly everyone will look surprised

Stars spinning wheels in the skies

Sun is scrambled in their eyes

While the moon circles like a vulture

Someone stood at a window & cried

'One tear I thought that should stop a war

But someone is killing me'

& that's the last hour to think anymore

Jelly & juice & bubbles - bubbles on the floor

Castles on cliffs vanish

Cliffs like heaps of rubbish

Seen from the stars hour by hour

As splintered scraps & black powder

From here to heaven is a scar

Dead center - deep as death

All the idiots have left

Epitaph

The cows are almost cooing

Turtle doves are mooing

Which is why a poo is pooing

In the sun

Sun
